Ingredients
▢4 cups water
▢½ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
▢2 teaspoons loose green tea bags (or 2 tea bags)
▢2 tablespoons honey (use maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan)
For Serving
▢¼ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

Instructions
Make Hot Strawberry Tea
Add water and strawberries to a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Switch off the heat, add green tea leaves to the pan, and stir gently.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the tea steep for 2 minutes.
Do not brew the tea for longer, otherwise, it may turn bitter. I feel 2 minutes is a perfect brewing time.
Add honey and mix well.
Divide the chopped strawberries meant for serving between 4 serving cups.
Strain the tea in the cups using a tea strainer and discard the cooked strawberries.
Serve immediately.
Make Strawberry Iced Tea
Once the tea is ready, strain it and cool it to room temperature. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Add chopped strawberries meant for serving and 1-2 lime slices to 4 serving glasses.
Fill the glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the tea over ice and serve immediately.

Notes
Adjust the sweetener as per your liking.
Add in some lemon juice for extra tartness.
